LONDON, January 12.-The Daily News
referring to Bismarck's speech in the Reich
stag, says it will have a bad effect upon the
peace of Europe, and that it tends to con.
firm the fears that Germany meditates ar
attack upon France.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the speech
will chill to the freezing point the martial
ardor OF the Revanche party in France,
and that the utterances of both Won
Moltke and the Chancellor will have a good
effect in preserving peace.
The Standard says: The speech OF Bis.
marck and Won Moltke makes the situa.
ton look, if possible, darker than
ever. Won Moltke's assurance that
Germany's desire is for peace
is doubtless sincere. Bismarck
possibly Is SO. but the stringent measures
taken in the endeavor to maintain peace
only shows how precarious is it's contin-
uance.
The Times thinks it possible that Bis
marck will be defeated, and says: 'His
statement is discouraging, both to those
who looked to Germany as a minister of
peace and the basis OF treaty rights, and to
those who hoped to see Europe gradually
relieved OF the grievous burden of enor-
nous armies and increasing taxation. He
sees a threatened storm and is determined
to provide for the safety Of his own coun-
try.;

The bear of the Adirondacks is a shy,t i,njd,

raspberry and blackberry bushes, chewing
berries with a pair Of jaws that could chew

him; you can't catch him. But if you see the

Allison. from the Committee on Appro
priations, reported back the Army Appro

sprinted.
On motion Of Ingalls,, the Senate bill te
amend section S;;749 Of then Revised Stat
iutes, in regard to the renting or selling
Govtrnm ent property, was taken up and
passed.
The Senate at 1:15 resumed the consid.
GRAFTON of the Inter State Commerce bill
and was addressed by-Call. who declared
his concurrence in the great objects OF pub
Tic policy that were sought, to be carried
into effect by the original bill and by the
conference report, '-.-
Ingalls, expressed the hope that Cul]om
would not insist On vote to-day. The
Senate had developed in the press and
other organs OF public opinion a feeling oil
intense interest and much has been ex.
pressed which he regards profita bletothose
who were engaged in the consideration ol
the subject. IT, ~
Call referred to the fact stated in the
work OF Poole that the capitalization OF
the railroads OF the country exceed their
actual cost by three billion dollars. The
rates charged for transportation were to
pay intelestand dividends on this fictitious
and pretended capital. The people were
nov paying an annualt tax of $500, 600, 900
on this fictitious capital. He could see
nothing in that Qi it were permitted to
continue) but the ruin of the republic.
No regulation of interest could be made
that permitted this enormous annual tax.
Did the conference report propose to rem
edy this evil? It did not. On the con-
trary it implicitly licensed it in failing to
provide any remedy, for it reasonable
rates are sought to be established by the
bill there should be reasonable rates cal
on amounts actually invested in
the constitution and operation of rail-
roads. If that could not be lone then the
bill was futile. He was in favor Of going
much farther than the bill went. lie was
in favor Of a law declaring that the rate,
the only reasonable rate which permitted
a fair return of the capital actually in
vested in railroads. He would, however,
vote for the pending bill because it would
accomplish no great harm, but he regarded
it as no remedy for existing evils, and as
no triumph for those who desiru to ,ce
commerce regulated. Although
nc would vUtc fo1 the bill he would prefer
to have it further considered by the Con-
Committee.
Brown made an argument in opposition
to the bill.
Henderson introduced a bill to facilitate
and to retire from active SER
vice, on their own applica ton, officers OF
the army who served during the wal OF the

AT the md OF the week Fan and l proposed
to have "a lark" and set ourselves quietly
about our preparations. We had each of us
a nice set of boys clothes made aforetime for
a masquerade; n one evening we sat in
our room with these spread out before us.
any hair is SO nice, Lot, I hate to have it
shingled, and what do you suppose Mr.. Tom
will think?"
"A fig for Mr.. Tom; I hate to lose my hair
as bad as you Go; but we can each wear a
switch, and just think of the fun!'
Only say fun to Fan and it was enough.
She sat dow and the scissors soon did tho
work. Fans hair was cropped close to her
head. My W shared the same fate, and
ts.en we commenced the job of entering the
horrid habiliments with which civilization in
vests a masculine in this Nineteenth century.
After some female imprecations perfectly
Harmless, l assure youO and many rounds Of

looms. and liable to-the sheriff. I fastened

stealthily in. took down the harness, placed It
upon a splendid black horse-the finest one
anywhere nthe country-placed the horse be

whip and in five minutes were safely in the
street with our prize.

People who were kicking against the ex-
orbltant fees collected by Oil Inspector Castle,
VIII get no rest until the next meeting OF the
legislature. They must continue to kick if
they want to be consistent, because Inspector
Willis will make as much money out of it as
MS predecessor, if not more. The impression
has gone abroad in the state that the last
legislature passed bill reducing the fees of
the Oil inspector, and that Mr. Willis would
not be able to make out of the office more
than one-half what Mr.. Castle did. When the
Legislature adjourned this was the underst and
ing among the henderson, q goodly portion
OF them. The fact is, though, no bill re-
ducing the fees ever passed both houses
A Dill introduced By Mr.. Keyes passed the
mouse, and bill also passed the senate, but
they were somewhat different in character
and neither was acted upon by Eoth houses
1t was the understanding that the bill passed
In the house and the one passed In the senate
were Identical, and that the Legislature had
passed law to reduce the fees, IT this had
not been so such a bill could easily have been
passed. AS IL is the fees remain the same as
under the old Castle regime, and Mr.. Willis
will feather his nest most beautifully before
his term expires. 1t would be interesting to
know who is responsible for this state of
affairs.
